Reasons to be Cheerful Week 35 #R2BC

It's amazing how time flies and this is the last R2BC of the summer holidays! Still plenty to be cheerful about even if I am back at work on Monday...

1) Family

We have had family staying up in Kendal for the bank holiday weekend. We only see them about once a year due to the distance and everyone's commitments but my children and I have loved spending time with them:

We have had lots of fun with them including a trip to Sizergh Castle:

And one to Cartmel Races as well as just spending time with them! Hope its not so long until we see them again.

2) Summer

Its been a really nice week weather wise until today. We have had so much sunshine that the sun tan cream has had to come out again:

3) Operation House

So its not been major improvements but I can see a difference in certain key spots:

The laundry backlog has finally been tackled so there aren't baskets of clothes all over my room.

I have re-organised and reduced the contents of the airing cupboard so its easy to use

The downstairs bathroom has had all the stuff my kids' had dumped in there removed so its now presentable

I have dug out the kitchen table from underneath all the various craft projects and clutter that seem to migrate there so we can all sit and eat in comfort again

Now I just need that car boot sale to get shot of all the stuff we have decluttered from each room so far..

I have the clutter in my room and I can't even blame kids! Well it's my ebay pile, and a lot of it is stuff Kiki's grown out off (clothes, baby related bobbins), I just can't find the time to sit, sort, photograph, and post it all. I considered a car boot, but we'd need to factor in hiring a car too :-(Well done on getting it all done though.The castle looks beautiful, glad you were able to spend some family time.
